 Welcome back to our channel. This time around we are going to be opening an online account from Github and this will help us experiment with Github as a version control system. So we'll type in Github.com as the URL to visit and when it opens up we'll be able to open, we're given a form to fill in. We need to fill in a username that is unique and what I'm going to use is Lawrence Bahira which is just my names and then what will happen next is I'll fill in my email and then I'll type in a password which should be one that is secure because I'm going to be developing software for a number of things so we need to be secure so something with the recommended settings by Github so we click sign up for the account and click sign up and then our account will be opened up so next we'll have to verify our account so we verify our account by clicking verify and playing with the gift that we are given so we need to turn this up on the right way and once we are ready we just have to click done we're given another image that we need to verify so just rotate it properly and then I'm done and that allows for our verification process to go through so next we'll create an account so there are two options for you a paid and a free version but I will choose to go with the free one because it gives me almost the same things that I'm looking for the advantages are with our collaborations where you have unlimited in the paid version so I'll just not create an organization for now and then I'll deselect that and we'll hit continue of course you're requested to give information about why so I'm new to programming I want to learn Gith and use it I also want to learn how to code but I'll choose to host a project and then once I'm ready of course give some information we'll be collaborating with the team so click submit and once we submit we are sent an email that we are supposed to verify by so I'll go to my email click verify and then once I verify the email address our account is ready for usage so we are going to be looking at a particular we can change our profile and by just changing our profile give more information about the status what's happening maybe I'll be slowly responding then we go and add other meaningful things like a bio to our page a company name, a location, a website and even maybe add a profile picture to our account so once we save that we shall be good to go and ready to use our account
